Anyone content with their 3 watches?

[boychild]

Hello all. I'm pretty much content with just having three, but I'm also tempted to add another one!

The hobby continues on...

I probably can't help, I have 8 trying to get to 4. Chris

You have a great trio there OP! Beautiful pieces. If you actually do refrain from buying a 4th, then you definitely have much more willpower than me!

I'm sure you will be able to sell 4. However, the big question here would be, are you able to hold strong and not replace them with another 4!??

Thank you!! I thought I was alone on this. The 4th one will just be a... bonus?! Haha. I will definitely settle with 3-4. It's easier to wear it in rotation.

I'm huge on minimalism. I appreciate things far more when I have fewer of them. Less to maintain, less to stress about, etc.

I bought two Rolexes - a light and a dark staple, both GADA configurations that I can hand down to my small son someday and called it good. No desire for more Rolexes. I have an old 20 year old quartz beater that does need replacing however, but that doesn't really count.

Buuuuuut, need for a new beater aside, I am going to Japan this Saturday to visit my wife (Japanese) and son who are living there temporarily, and I have my eye on one more potential lifetime watch...a Grand Seiko. It makes sense given my family, and the exchange rate isn't helping me resist.

I still haven't for sure made up my mind that I'll get one, but it's possible that I made a third stand (aesthetically heinous but functionally amazing) just yesterday...you know, just in case...

It's also possible I buy one with the intent for it to be a much needed 'beater' replacement and change my mind later????

Thank you for sharing this! Less is more, right?!

Have fun in Japan (my most desirable place to visit one day)! My mom was there a week ago and she said AD's won't sell to tourists and can't try anything on!! Watch demand in Japan is the hardest in the world!!

Grand Seiko on the other hand is readily available with great discounts I heard!

No, it the 6-digit reference 126234.

You're going through the phases. I had three or four watches. It blew up to eleven getting into other brands. I have since sold off several pieces and really consolidated around classic Rolex and Omega pieces. Even now, I am looking at trimming down further. I really only ever wear like five pieces regularly.

[davek35]

I am very happy with my main 3 watches (DJ41, OP41, Tudor BB monochrome). A few inexpensive ones around, but I've sworn off those kinds of purchases in the future.

Today, if offered a requested SkyD or GMTII, I'd probably pass. The longer I wait for those, the less I desire them.

I'd take that watch money and take a few vacations.

Glad that you're with me on this! Shopping for watches should not be stressful. I don't enjoy the waiting period as well. LIFE IS SHORT!

You're right on that! It's a phase. Wow 11?! I learned that it becomes challenging for me to rotate when I had too many watches (not Rolex though). I gave it all up and didn't turn back.

I am content with my Land, Air, Sea 3 piece collection and am probably done. SD43, Sky dweller Jubilee Blue Dial and Apple watch ultra.

Glad to hear that you're with me on this!

I could roll with this as a three watch collection and be very happy. I have a seiko i beat around in if needed that i don’t really count.

Superb trio! I was eyeing on the BB58 for a while but I felt that it would be difficult to co-exist with my Sub. How's the size of the black/red Tudor? Is the case thick like the others?

Thank you! It’s honestly so perfect. It’s 12.8MM thick. For reference the sub is 12MM thick and definitely feels like it wears larger. It’s about 1mm thicker than a bb58, and the original bb58 wears nearly identical IMO to the 16700.

Love the 321....

What about that smokin' Panerai 690 blue dial? That still in the collection? First time I saw your wrist shot wearing it think I blacked out for a second

I need to add a Speedy! I've been tempted to get the new FOIS. Tried it on last week. So gorgeous in person (despite the "fauxtina"). Haha!

Also, Omega's customer service exceeds among other brands! Watches are available to purchase and no waitlists. Hands down.

This three are all you need! I’m trying to cut back as well. Would like to be sub 10 Rolex near term. eventually (years from now) tapering down to like sub 5 total lux watches would be ideal.

Yes, I agree. THIS is all that I need.

More options always arise.
